"Some things you must always be unable to bear. Some things you must never stop refusing to bear. Injustice, outrage, dishonor, and shame. No matter how young you are, or how old you have got. Not for kudos and not for cash: your picture in the paper nor money in the bank either. Just refuse to bear them."

FF47 is too mentally unstable to be commander in chief. Either invoke the 25th or outright impeach.

Thank you, Dr O’Neill, for this post on Federal Force, Personal Power. You and Dr Timothy Snyder compliment each other on the tyranny we’re facing with this regime. When I think “poor, pitiful me” I remember your words of warning and encouragement. Thank you, Both!

Question from a Belgian.

Can a US National Guard person, a Marine, an armed forces person refuse to obey an order that he/she deems unlawful or not constitutional?

I know that even SS soldiers could refuse an order without consequences.

I ask because should I be a soldier or guard I would not obey Trump's or Hegseth's orders.
